What is the speed range of Audi's ACC adaptive cruise control?
2 Answers
Audi's ACC adaptive cruise control can be set within a speed range of 30-200 km/h. When the speed is below 30 km/h, the instrument panel will display that the speed is too slow, and the cruise system cannot be activated normally. Adaptive Cruise Control System: The adaptive cruise control system is an intelligent automatic control system. During vehicle operation, the distance sensor (radar) installed at the front of the vehicle continuously scans the road ahead, while the wheel speed sensors collect vehicle speed signals. It is recommended to have it installed at an authorized 4S dealership. Function of Adaptive Cruise Control: Through feedback signals from the distance sensor, the ACC control unit can assess road conditions based on the movement speed of nearby objects and control the vehicle's driving state. By sensing the force applied by the driver on the feedback-type accelerator pedal, the ACC control unit can determine whether to execute cruise control to reduce driver fatigue.
I've used Audi's ACC on the highway, and the speed setting is quite flexible, starting from 30 km/h up to a maximum of around 250 km/h, depending on the specific model and road conditions. For long-distance driving, I usually set it at around 110 km/h, with the following distance automatically adjusting—it slows down when the car in front does, making highway cruising particularly effortless. ACC also works well in congested areas, providing safe and fuel-efficient low-speed following. A reminder: manual intervention is necessary when the speed is too high or the weather is poor—safety first. The ACC button is conveniently located on the steering wheel, but beginners should practice on low-speed sections to familiarize themselves with the function. Audi's system is truly reliable and keeps you from getting tired even after long drives.
